I'm pretty well read, I actually really like the works of Aristotle and think most philosophical works have stagnated since then, I especially dislike all the religious bullshit in the middle ages and after, but:
If your opponent cannot express their point in few words then it doesn't matter that you understand it because clearly they do not.
If you wanna try some "religious" non-bullshit from after the middle ages, dip into some Spinoza. I think he scratches the Aristotelian itch.
Religious?? Spinoza?? How was the guy who wrote books about how god isn't real, because nothing that is attributed to god can also be attributed to nature, and religion is the primary contradiction in society? That Spinoza?
Okay but to be fair Spinoza is really good. Much closer to Hegel than fucking Kant.
Nu uh.
